A world premiere of this new play in eight parts by WRiTEON's patron, Fraser Grace, award-winning author of Breakfast with Mugabe, The Lifesavers and King David: Man of Blood.

A provocative new drama about Mikhail Kalashnikov: inventor of the world-famous AK47 assault rifle and a decorated Soviet hero.

In the dark woods of a fairy tale Russian landscape, a young journalist seeks out the legendary Kalashnikov in his remote dacha. At first the stranger is welcomed by the General and his protective daughter but as night falls and the vodka flows, truths are revealed and events are triggered that no one can control.
